Answer: Option D) 1:4
Explanation:
Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases in the DNA nucleotide is equal to 100%. And specific base pairings of Adenine to Thymine (A=T), and Cytosine to Guanine (C=G) must be equal.
So, the percentage of Adenine equal thymine, and that of cytosine equals guanine.
Now, A + T + C + G = 100%
So, if adenine makes up 10% of the DNA nucleotides, then thymine is also 10%.
Then, 10% + 10% + C + G = 100%
20% + C + G = 100%
C + G = 100% - 20% = 80%
Thus, divide 80% by 2 to obtain the individual percentage of cytosine and guanine. Each will take 40%
Ratio Adenine to Guanine is 10% to 40%
or 1:4 in simplest form
This is why natural selection acts on phenotypes instead of genotypes. A phenotype is an organism's physical traits, while a genotype is an organism's genetic makeup. This may sound counter-intuitive since the genetic makeup does get<span> passed on from generation to generation through reproduction.</span>
Recombinant DNA technique involves removing a portion of DNA or genome and moving it into another genome. With cloning the cells or egg can be divided into eight segments that can grow into another organism or cell.
Answer:
First, third, and fifth are the answers. Glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll. Energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar.
Explanation
If one parent has been affected by sickle cell anemia, while the other parent does not and is homozygous, the chances that a child will have this disorder is 0%. Thus, the correct option is C.
<h3>What is Sickle Cell anemia?</h3>
Sickle Cell anemia may be defined as a genetic disorder that is caused by a recessive allele. It is an inherited disease in which the red blood cells have an irregular crescent shape, obstruct small blood vessels, etc.
This disease is inherited when both genes of each parent are supposed to be defective or carriers. While in this case, only parents are affected by the disorder while the other is homozygous for the normal allele.
In this condition, all the offspring produced by both parents remain as carriers but not affected ones.
Thus, the correct option is C.
